02 March 2008

My son, John Paul, just finished the Honda Los Angeles Marathon. He finished in 4:55:14 hours, which is a great improvement from his time last year of more than five hours! As seen from the results, he placed # 5,553 out of 17,011 finishers and he was ranked # 4,219 out of 10,491 males who finished the 42K run. This is his fourth time to run and finish the said race. Despite running 14 miles (22.4 kilometers) as his longest running workout three weeks before the race, he was able to comfortably finish the race with a better time. Unfortunately, my daughter, Jovelle, did not join him in this race this time.

Congratulations, John!
